Shaded Lamp Mar 2015
Bottox for your buttocks
Gold on your coffin
You've got a list of wants
That I find a sin

Hand painted toilet roll
The latest apple phone
"i" this and "i" that
The latest killer drone

Investment in divestment
An electronic bee
Social displacement therapy
Why do you want me?
Shaded Lamp Mar 2015
Excitable, aren't they
Those nerds in mid range suits
Dressed from head to toe in lies
The Emperors new clothes
Hail the red top jesters
Mocking democracy
And to think brave souls
Died to vote
To vote
For something other than this
They died for more than this
Yet they remain alive
And voters...
Dead
Shaded Lamp Mar 2015
Remember the time when
the keyboard was a pen
Eggs came from the chicken
that fed the fox in the den

Remember how and why
you would freely cry
the sight of blood and plume
torn breast and thigh

Remember that red sketch
no more eggs to fetch
just this hideous picture
that made mamma wretch

Remember the time when
paint, pencil and pen
screamed out all your words
at the sly foxes den.
Shaded Lamp Mar 2015
Hot salt laden rivers
Crystallise they crystallise
An arms length and light years away
Your injury my disdain
Beautiful white pyramids
crumble 'til
only foundations defiantly stand.
Should ancient Rome be rebuilt
or remain as a building site?
Shaded Lamp Mar 2015
Double baked soufflé people
glistening with sweat.
Vanity is a myopia utopia
steaming to regret.
Handsome shadows swoop
stealing precious rays
The mocking call of the crow
counting your last days.
Shaded Lamp Mar 2015
The world wearily awakes this morning
to your maniacal grin
We hang our heads in shame for those
that committed the sin
They had a chance to do the right thing
why throw that chance away
Palestine can not sit back and watch
their children ultimately pay
Four more years of arms dealer profits
four more years of genocide
Throw your silly bomb cartoons away
Mossad plan your homicide.

Yours sincerely
The compassionate souls of the world.
We are here
to have a good time,
not to have a long time;
however,
if it lasts a long time,
all the better.
Plan accordingly
but do not lose sight.
